As discussed in this review, there are still numerous challenges associated with the integration of large-scale battery energy storage into the electric grid. These challenges range from scientific and technical issues, to policy issues limiting the ability to deploy this emergent technology, and even social challenges.
Batteries of various types and sizes are considered one of the most suitable approaches to store energy and extensive research exists for different technologies and applications of batteries; however, environmental impacts of large-scale battery use remain a major challenge that requires further study.
Due to their a vast range of applications, a large number of batteries of different types and sizes are produced globally, leading to different environmental and public health issues. In the following subsections, different adverse influences and hazards created by batteries are discussed.
Batteries are efficient, convenient, reliable, easy to use, and need low maintenance, but environmental concerns, high cost (compared to utility power), need for critical materials (e.g., Li and Co), low energy density, and restricted shelf life are some of batteries’ limitations .
In this paper, batteries from various aspects including design features, advantages, disadvantages, and environmental impacts are assessed. This review reaffirms that batteries are efficient, convenient, reliable and easy-to-use energy storage systems (ESSs).
However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.
